Centurion traffic department usually means the Centurion Service Delivery Centre on Nellmapius Drive, a combined traffic and licensing office run by the City of Tshwane as agent for the Gauteng provincial government. The RTMC’s national head office is also in Centurion, at Centurion Gate, but it is not a walk-in licensing counter.
Only details confirmed on an official source are shown. Where the authority publishes nothing, this page says so rather than repeating directory listings that are often out of date.
Last checked: 13 September 2026. TrafficDepartment.co.za is an independent guide, not a government website. We do not book appointments, take payments or issue documents. Confirm fees, hours and requirements with the official source before you act: City of Tshwane and RTMC Centurion.

Opening and operating hours
The authority’s opening hours for Centurion could not be confirmed on an official page. Most municipal licensing offices work weekday business hours and close their queues to new applicants before the doors close, so confirm on the day.
The RTMC closes its offices, Centurion Gate included, over the festive period each year, typically from shortly before Christmas until early January. The dates are published on its contact page, so check there in December rather than assuming last season’s dates apply.
How hours and cut-offs usually work: traffic department operating hours. Weekend options: traffic departments open on Saturday.

Common transactions in Centurion: what to expect
- Renewing a driving licence card: book, pass the eye test, have your fingerprints and photograph taken and pay. The card is produced centrally and collected later, so ask for a temporary licence if your card expires first. Full steps: traffic department licence renewal.
- Learner’s licence test: bring your ID, proof of address and the LL1 form, and be ready for an eye test. See learner’s licence.
- Professional driving permit: take a medical certificate that is not older than two months, and allow time for the conviction check. See PrDP guide.
- Licence disc renewal: take the renewal notice, or an ALV form, your ID and proof of address. See traffic department disc renewal.
- Converting a foreign licence: take your passport, valid permit and the original foreign licence. See foreign licence conversion.
Booking and appointment information
Bookings are made on NaTIS Online. In Gauteng, tests and licence card renewals are generally booked there, and gov.za states that Gauteng residents must apply online for a learner’s licence. Some centres set aside walk-in days for older applicants.
How the booking system works, and what to do when there are no slots: traffic department online booking.

Fees and payment information
Licensing fees are set by the province and municipality and change from time to time. The City of Tshwane does not publish a current fee list on the pages we checked, so confirm the amount and the accepted payment methods before you go. How fees are structured: traffic department fees and traffic department prices.
How people search for Centurion licensing offices
Searches include Centurion DLTC, DLTC Centurion, Centurion licensing department, Centurion licence department and Centurion traffic department Gauteng, along with Afrikaans variants such as Gautrain Centurion DLTC-bestuurslisensie. The names are used loosely: a driving licence testing centre handles learner’s and driving licences and tests, while a registering authority, often called the licensing department, handles licence discs and vehicle registration.
Three practical questions come up most often: Centurion DLTC operating hours, whether the Centurion licensing department is open on Saturday, and how Centurion licence department online booking works. Hours and Saturday opening are not published officially, so phone ahead; booking is on NaTIS Online. A Centurion drivers license renewal is done at the Nellmapius Drive centre.
Centurion is both, in one building on Nellmapius Drive. The RTMC head office at Centurion Gate is a different thing again: a national entity, not a counter for licence or disc work.
